Summary: best poet
Comment: Wistawa Szymborska is a very intelligent poet. Her work is one of the best that I have ever read on. One of her poems is called, "The End and the Beginning." The part that touched me the most was stanza two; "someone has to shove the rubble to the roadsides so the carts loaded with corpses can get by." This little stanza holds so much feeling and information it can be overwhelming. Her poems are powerful in a way that she makes you feel like you are right there with her as she is writing this poem. She puts so much of herself into these poems and this is what makes them so wonderful to read. So I would like to think her for writing such wonderful poems for others to read.

Summary: Relationship to Today's Problems
Comment: "Hatred is a poem that I believe is a statement the world is making today, whether we like what it is saying or not. As our world is coming closer to a war, we are forced to think about hatred everyday and what it actually means. "Let's Face it: It knows how to make beauty. The splendid fire-glow in midnight skies. Magnificent bursting bombs in rosey dawns." Is hatred as beautiful as this passage from her poem reads? Isn't there another way to make beauty than to use hate?
Szymborska is a poet who does not hide behind her writings. She expresses herself and thoughts and is not afraid to do so. This certain poem of hate could be a bit risky to write, but it actually tells the truth. Hate is everywhere, even on the sports fields, with the fans and athletes themselves.
This book, Poems New and Collected, has many great themes such as love, war, perspective and existence. Everyone may not agree with her writings, but I am sure some sort of connection will be made. I know I felt a connection to her while reading her poems.

Summary: talented poet
Comment: Szymborska is a talented poet. She conveys a dark view of humanity through her poetry. In her poem "Hatred" Szymborska explores the human emotion of hate. She describes it as efficient; in no way blind or patient. Humanity's hate is immortal and "unflinching." Another example of Szymborska's dark view of humanity is expressed in "Advertisement." Advertisements are manmade; they take over people and make them promises. She goes as far as to calling them the devil asking for your soul.
Szymborka's poems are written in simple language so anyone can understand them. She does not make them unduly complex. Her writing makes one think and does not take life lightly.
